The Things I've Longed To Say.

Chapter 8: Perspectives

We as humans can only physically see from one perspective. First person view. It's how we live our lives. But I don't see why we can't mentally think of the other perspectives. You have your own side to the story, I have mine. Those are two totally different perspectives. Have you ever gone to venture out into  the other perspective? To put yourself in somebody else's shoes. In this book, you will hear me constantly mentioning the people on my bus. That is because they are literally the worst. I can't find any reason as to why they think it's okay to do the things that they do. This is one of those times. On my bus, the people who misbehave are the best example. They will throw objects like very sharp pencils, grapes, sticky notes, wrappers, etc. I have been hit with all of these things. Somebody once got glue in her hair once. Constantly blasting music and yelling loudly, wanting to get your attention so they could say "Lemme smash" And then laugh like it wasn't an  overused joke that isn't funny. The bus driver and monitor have put up with them for so long that they stopped doing something about it except when things get thrown. It's bad. They share all the aspects of bullies, but don't get punished for it. They don't care in the slightest about the people they've affected. They think they're so funny and cool and that they can get away with anything, and with what I've seen so far, they can. They will get punished but they don't give a care in the world. They don't see how their actions hurt. They don't see my perspective. They don't see any perspective other than theirs. And look at how they act. Do you want to be around a person who doesn't seem to care about anyone but themselves? What I'm saying, is that you need to try to think different ways about certain things. Look in the other direction. Positives, other than negatives. Perspectives: There are more than one.
